Farmers and other professional fertiliser economic operators (FEOs) can now declare closing stocks of fertiliser held on their farms and premises. Such a declaration must also include those farms and premises that have no stock on hand.
So far, just over 122,000 professional fertiliser end users (FEU) and 425 FEOs are registered on the NFD, and the system has captured more than 481,000 transactions. Emphasising the importance of accurately declaring fertiliser closing stock, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue stated: “Now that the fertiliser spreading season has ended, it is timely that farmers and other professional FEUs provide an accurate report of the volume of fertilisers held on farms and premises around the country.” The final date for submission is October 15, 2024.
